You can use COLOR OBJECT the same way you colored the backdrop with the RGB command.

The syntax is:

COLOR OBJECT Object Number, Color Value

Also, you don't need to put the COLOR OBJECT or the COLOR BACKGROUND in your main loop, put them before it (it's give you slightly better performance).

Sure, it's a very small difference, probably not even noticeable to us, but why introduce even that small slowdown when a simple cut/paste will easily fix it?

Listen to him Bigsnake.

It's a lot of little slowdowns that add up to big slowdowns for bigger projects. If the color is going to stay the same you only need to do it once and not every time a loop happens. Having it do a color change every loop to a color that is exactly the same as the last loop is unnecessary. It may not seem like it but it loops really fast.

Try running your code with some additions of my own:
